  1. Currently learning about transistor amplifiers and the like. Its actually quite interesting.

    1. @techdisk i never knew a thing about transistors, b'ut i've studied a little bit abut amplifiers in my introduction to instrumental analysis classes

      1. @mushi well if you like electronics, transistors are quite neat.

        1. @techdisk what do they do?

          1. @mushi Quite simply, they are a switch controlled by voltage. When used as a switch, it simply turns a circuit on or off depending on if it has voltage on the base pin or not. When used as an amplifier, it can take extremely small volrage waves and use them to control the resistance in a large voltage circuit, therefore amplifying the original small voltage to the new voltage.

            1. @techdisk well, I hope that's simple....

            2. @techdisk so it is like when there the thing that tells the eletricit where to go when the circuit bifurcates?

              1. @mushi Uhh, bifurcate?

                1. @techdisk yes, like an "Y"

                    1. @techdisk well, that is what i was trying to tell

                      1. @mushi ah.
